: / To be brutally honest the negativity is not attractive. It's hard for people to feel a certain way about you if you don't feel it about yourself. Have confidence in yourself. Love yourself. Appreciate yourself. Be happy with yourself. Once you do that then other people will love, appreciate, and be happy with you.

I haven't done 30DS but if it more strength than cardio you probably will see a lower burn but better tone in your muscle over time. Perhaps supplement your workout with a short run or jog afterwards and it will help your muscles loosen up and and let go of the lactic acid as well.

I do that and take a sip of water after every bite. It has really really helped me in my portion control, especially at restaurants when the waiter is slow to bring me the box I ask for to put half my meal away.

Honestly 1500 calories over is a lot. But if you compare it to your actual maintenance calories for your weight you might not actually be that much over. Your maintenance calories is your BMR x activity level. I use 1.2 for sedentary so that it's a low balled number. Now to your question does it really matter if it's ok or…

I know how you feel. I work at a pizza place and I have to watch people eat garbage all day. We are located right next to a Mcdonalds and I have to see my 400 pound shift manager eat Mcdonalds and Pizza 3+ times a day. But my boyfriend made a good point that to them it's probably really annoying for them to watch me eat a…

I'm a scale addict. I generally weigh in every day but if you do that you have to understand that your body fluctuates drastically and frequently. For me it used to be an emotional roller coaster but i've learned to understand it an live with it. This week I actually put the scale away and had a 'no scale week'. It's…

I always get the natural reduced sodium. The fat in peanut butter is the good kind! Why would I want to get of it!?!? Reduced fat anything is a marketing scam imo.

Oh man I forgot about Battlestar Galactica. Man I would kill to look like Katee Sackhoff. om nom nom nom

Super nerd alert <---- Seen every episode of star trek except voyager because voyager is bleh. Play WoW and dungeons and dragons magic the gathering. There is a duffle bag in my closet with about 100 pounds of magic the gathering cards. Old school ninja turtle toys. We have a display cabinet with action figures and…

GRATS! I can't wait to get there. I'm only like 2.5 pounds away!

It doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent. And it's probably best to weigh in the morning anyways before you have any food and water weighing you down. :D

The protein goals MFP sets are generally pretty low and going a little or even just a lot over isn't going to hurt you any.

I wish i got a chicken breast and veggies some days. I need somebody to cook for me to every day. I do more fruit than I should and not enough veggies because fresh ones are expensive and canned ones have a lot of sodium. Frozen ones taste yucky. I probably don't eat enough meat because I don't like to cook so I get my…

I always eat at least part of mine. I can't always eat all of them. But you really should be trying to net at least 1200 calories a day. So if your goal is already set at 1200 and you burn 600 then yes you should eat at least some of them so that you are still getting close to a net of 1200.

When I lived closer to my aunts farm I used to do that kind of work all the time. For now I might count it as cleaning heavy effort but I would highly suggest a heart rate monitor like the polar ft4 or ft7 if yoy are concerned with accuracy.

Been there done that. Every time I feel like im starting to get stuck I slow down on the cardio and eat a little more or change up my routine and it works every time.

Weight can fluctuate drastically day to day due to water weight. If you are consuming a lot of sodium and not drinking enough water your body is going to hold on to as much water as it can. I am a scale addict. At one point I got rid of my scale and I was only allowed to weigh myself if I went to the gym. This got…

I get the Jif natural with reduced sodium. Peanut Butter is just something I cannot live with out. It is by far my favorite food.

You don't have to not eat before bed if you have calories left over. It's a myth that it matters what time you eat. Maybe you can try saving 100 calories or so for a small pre bed time snack like an apple. I never go to bed hungry or else I just can't sleep. And not sleeping is more detrimental to fitness then having a…

I've been where you've been. I was losing weight, then i met my boyfriend and got comfortable and hit my highest weight. The first thing that sticks out to me (and this is going to sound silly) is that horse in your picture. If you are riding a lot and taking care of a horse your activity is probably pretty high. And if…

I think the bmr calculator on MFP must use a different equation because it gives me a lower number than the BMR calculator that I usually use.

My vote would definitely be for the polar ft4. Its reasonably priced, easy to set up, comes with a chest strap, shows calories burned , and cann be used for swimming. I love mine!

I don't generally eat all of my exercise calories but I do my best to net 1200. So my daily goal is 1500. Say I burn 600. MFP would then want me to eat 2100 calories. I personally would have a hard time eating that much without eating junk. So instead I eat part of my exercise calories for a total of say 1750. That would…

I know exactly how you feel and I went through the same thing. Even after losing 60+ pounds I was still looking in the mirror and since I don't have a very good memory of what I looked like at 220 pounds I still saw the fat woman in the mirror. Everybody would say how skinny and healthy I look and how amazing I look but I…

You can succeed at this. You can do it for real this time. That's my motto. Doin it for real this time. But the key isn't a physical change but an attitude adjustment. The difference between the me that gave up every other month and the me now is the me before would get frustrated at only losing 1/2 - 1 pound a week or…

I always try to take a hot bath after my workouts. Some people say epsom salts don't work but it's like 2 dollars for a half gallon of the stuff so it's worth a try. Rubbing the muscles immediately after also helps the muscles to release the lactic acid. You got to do this stuff right after the work out before the muscles…

ooh my girl. You look gooooood. Good luck on getting toned up and getting that body fat % down.

Yes this is a site to focus on fitness and bettering ourselves. But I've seen a lot of posts like this where people berate the general public of the site for flirty behavior. Honestly I think maybe some people should just mind their own business and stop worrying about what other people are doing on this site. The behavior…

Assuming no witness I would have seriously kicked his bike over and ran. Who are the police gonna believe, some crazy old kook or some sweet innocent young lady?
